Just in time for the official start of summer, Dogfish Head, Milton, Del., and Dan-O’s Seasoning are giving everyone another reason to fire-up their grills ― a limited-edition, collaborative grilling kit with everything needed to host the ultimate backyard barbeque. Complete with beers, seasoning blends and recipes, the Dogfish Head x Dan-O’s grilling kit will be available exclusively at GiveThemBeer.com, beginning June 7, while supplies last.
The Dogfish Head x Dan-O’s grilling kit features two distinctive Dogfish Head brews: Citrus Squall (8% ABV) and Y’all Don’t Know Till You Dan-O beer (5.5% ABV).
The kit includes a six-pack of 12-ounce cans of Citrus Squall and a four-pack of 16-ounce cans of Dogfish Head’s all-new Y’all Don’t Know Till You Dan-O beer.
Brewed in collaboration with Dan-O’s Seasoning, Y’all Don’t Know Till You Dan-O is a dark lager brewed with ingredients also found in Dan-O’s best-selling Original seasoning blend, like rosemary, lemon peel and orange peel. The result is a malty and flavorful beer with bright pops of fresh citrus and savory herbs, it says.
“Since the day we opened nearly 30 years ago, Dogfish Head has been committed to brewing beers with unique culinary ingredients and cooking up some delicious eats over our brewpub’s wood-fired grill,” said Sam Calagione, Dogfish Head founder and brewer, in a statement. “Partnering with Dan-O’s, another brand that passionately prioritizes creating epic flavor experiences for its fans, was such a fun and rewarding experience. Our kismet energies allowed us to create a couple of awesome beer and spice duos that are sure to help anyone up their grilling game. I can’t wait for folks to try them.”
In addition to two Dogfish Head beers, each grilling kit will include two complementary Dan-O’s seasoning blends. The first, a 3.5-ounce bottle of Dan-O’s Original seasoning blend. Made with a signature blend of herbs, spices and sea salt, this savory and versatile seasoning goes well with just about everything, it notes.
For folks with a more adventurous appetite, included will be a 6.5-ounce can (Yep, we said CAN!) of Dan-O’s brand-new, citrus-forward Citra-diculous seasoning blend. Drawing inspiration from Dogfish Head’s Citrus Squall beer, Dan-O’s Citra-diculous seasoning blend features a mouth-watering mixture of grapefruit, citrus, hop and herb flavors.
“Our goal at Dan-O’s has always been to inspire people to cook up a whole lot of fun and do so with clean, flavor-FULL seasoning,” said Dan “Dan-O” Oliver, founder of Dan-O’s Seasoning. “To partner with a brand with the same kind of values, and as fun and special as Dogfish Head, we were inspired in a whole new way to create the fruit-forward Citra-diculous. It’s even cooler to be featured together in this grill box for our Fan-O's, Dogfish Head fans and others looking to get flavor rich.”
To complete the Dogfish Head x Dan-O’s grilling kit, Dogfish Head tapped the culinary teams at its coastal Delaware restaurants to create some easy, summer-centric food recipes utilizing Dan-O’s Original and Citra-diculous seasoning blends. From Citra-diculous Cedar Plank Salmon to Ya’ll Don’t Know Till You Dan-O Beer Can Chicken, Dogfish Head’s chefs provide detailed, step-by-step instructions for recreating their tasty dishes at-home.
Beginning June 10, limited quantities of Dogfish Head’s exclusive Y’all Don’t Know Till You Dan-O beer also will be available at the brewery’s Rehoboth storefront, the Off-Centered EmPOURium, for $17 for a four-pack of 16-ounce cans. Later in June, Dan-O’s limited-edition Citra-diculous seasoning blend will also be up for grabs on the brand’s website for $17.99 for a 6.5-ounce can.
